WTF Is Going On?

Seems we are up to 50-100 Russian spam posts a day now, plus a couple of RobertErync English spam posts.

...all of which we delete when we can get to it, which has been at least a couple of times a day despite living-earning and child-rearing responsibilities. Meanwhile, you keep talking about it, leaving additional useless poop nuggets littered around the site. If you imagine that your comments are going to do anything to help change the situation, please allow me to disabuse you of the notion.

I am just curious why moderators don't have the power to ban accounts given that this is an ongoing issue. That should fix it instantly. I don't think it's a great look for the forum to have loads of spam being posted constantly, that's all.

Because as of yet, the site admin hasn't made that change. If and when he does, it'll get better. I thought we'd said that elsewhere, more than once.
